Since:
commit 10ab825bdef8 ("change kernel threads to ignore signals instead of
blocking them")
kthreads have been ignoring signals by default, and the vhost layer has
never had a need to change that. This patch adds an option flag,
USER_WORKER_SIG_IGN, handled in copy_process() after copy_sighand()
and copy_signals() so vhost_tasks added in the next patches which are
based directly off task_structs instead of kthreads can continue to ignore
singals.
